Olum advised faculty
members to think about the
proposed reductions and bring
counter proposals to next Wed
nesday's Faculty Senate meet
ing.
In response to a question
about what is being done to
eliminate duplicate programs in
the state system, he told faculty
that the state board still may do
some picking and choosing
among cuts at the eight state
colleges and universities The
board may decide to reduce
identical programs, Olum said
"We may, depending on what
comes next, have to join that
battle ourselves ”

Female heads of households
— some of the poorest people in
America — are one of the
groups bearing the weight of
Reagan's attempt to balance
the budget, Hendriksen said
Such social policies hit
women with the one-two
punch," she said, asserting that
Reagan's policies first weaken
women's programs with budget
cuts and then wage substan
tive attacks on freedom of
choice,'' Hendriksen said,
referring to recent controver
sies in the Legislature over the
abortion issue
The Human Life Amendment
a piece of anti-abortion legisla
tion, is one such attack, she
said
"It's sad that the Legislature
will give a fertilized egg the full
protection under the 14th
Amendment when the women of
this country can't get the Equal
Rights Amendment ratified,"
Hendriksen said
"It's very apparent that we re
going to have to move Ronnie
out in 1984,” she said
Another social program, affir
mative action, is feeling the im
pact of Reagan s policies in a
big way, said Derrick Bell,
University law school dean, who
described the Reagan adminis
tration as a slap in the face to
many of us."
Bell termed affirmative action
a doomed policy.' that never
had the chance to solve the
problems of discrimination
because its goals were more on
the symbolic side than the sub
stantive side
It was a veneer of equality
and justice when the old bur
dens remained in place. Bell
said
In the Reagan renaissance
of repressive republicanism. ”
the liberal middle class must
realize that earlier programs of
welfare and integration weren't
good enough and that promises
now need to be followed up by
performance. Bell said
Limit tuition, educators urge
DENVER (AP) — Tuition should not be used
as a tool to limit college enrollment in a period
of financial recession, delegates at a confer
ence sponsored by the Western Interstate
Commission for Higher Education announced
Wednesday
Conference representatives from 13 western
states made preliminary recommendations to
maintain the quality of higher education in the
face of financial uncertainties and fluctuating
enrollment
Roy Lieuallen, chancellor of the Oregon
State System of Higher Education, said while
the conference iacked authority to carry out
recommendations, it can influence decision
making in each of the 13 states represented
Besides the need to preserve quality, the
educators, governing board members and
legislators discussed improving cooperation
among the various levels of education, and
between colleges and universities and private
job markets
As the conference closed, preliminary
recommendations developed in group discus
sions were turned over to a task force for
examination during the ensuing weeks
The task force is composed of
representatives from Oregon, Alaska, Arizona,
California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Washington and
Wyoming.
A discussion of measuring educational
quality occupied much of the conference’s
final day The task force suggested that states
examine methods of appraising their students'
levels of educational achievement.
Alison R Bernstein, associate dean at San
gamon State University in Illinois, said any
assessment of quality must be based on an
evaluation of what the student is learning,
rather than the credentials of the faculty or the
selectivity of the admissions procedures
Delegates indicated that follow-up meetings
would be planned in several other western
states to discuss the regional conference s
findings and to develop a plan of action
